Discover the region

Geographically, Lindewerra is located on the edge of the Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werratal Nature Park and thus offers a breathtaking landscape with many opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling. It is particularly beautiful here during spring and autumn.

One of the tourist highlights of Lindewerra is Berlepsch Castle - a medieval castle complex dating back to the 12th century, which is now used as a hotel. Here you can not only stay overnight, but also take part in guided tours or simply let yourself be enchanted by the charm of this historic place.

Another cultural highlight is the St.-Nikolaus church in Gerbershausen - a Romanesque building from the 11th century with impressive frescoes.

For culinary delights, you should definitely visit the local snack bar and indulge in the delicious regional specialities - the Thuringian dumplings and bratwurst are particularly recommended.

If it rains, there are still plenty of ways to make good use of your time: A visit to the local history museum "Alte Mühle" (Old Mill) provides an insight into the life of times gone by, or you can opt for a cosy reading session in the library.

However, the most beautiful place is undoubtedly in nature: the Werratalsee lake provides an idyllic backdrop for walks and picnics. Those who like it more adventurous can also take a canoe tour on the river.

Lindewerra is definitely a destination that deserves a place on every bucket list. With this travel guide you will be well equipped to discover the beauty of this place!

    Schöne Tour, die Bezeichnung "Vom Hanstein bis Lindewerra" ist allerdings falsch, da die Tour ja in Wahlhausen endet, Lindewerra nur ein Zwischenziel ist.

    Ich bin die Tour am Wanderparkplatz Rothenbach gestartet, um den Sonderstempel noch mitzunehmen. Ab hier ging es schon mal bergauf zum Rundweg, den man dann kurz vor der Gaststätte Teufelskanzel erreicht. Ich bin den Rundweg im Uhrzeigersinn gegangen und hab festgestellt, dass das eine gute Entscheidung war, denn anders herum wäre der Anstieg noch steiler gewesen. Besonders schön fand ich den Abschnitt im Bereich der Teufelskanzel. Er hatte was mystisches. Aussicht hatte ich leider keine, da das ganze Tal unterhalb der Teufelskanzel, sowie am Lindenwerrablick im Nebel lag. Der Rundweg ist super gut beschildert, sodass man sein Handy mal in der Tasche lassen kann.

    Sehr schöne Tour auf tollen Wegen hauptsächlich im Wald, der stellenweise verwunschen anmutet und der Märchenregion somit alle Ehre macht. Wunderschöne Aussichtspunkte. Trotz der vergleichsweise kurzen Strecke kein Spaziergang, an manchen Stellen sind Wanderstöcke keine schlechte Idee. Die angegebene Gehzeit hat bei mir genau gepaßt und die Beschilderung ist durchweg sehr gut!

    Ich bin nur die Teilstrecke von Fuldabrück bis nach Hann. Münden geradelt. In diesem Bereich ist es eine nette, flussnahe Strecke mit relativ wenig Gastronomie an der Strecke. Diese findet man jedoch ausreichend in Hann. Münden.

    Bis Neu-Eichenberg für meinen Geschmack etwas zu viel Asphalt, danach sehr schön! Ich empfehle allerdings, nach Lindewerra noch bis Werleshausen am östlichen Ufer der Werra entlang zu laufen, das ist schöner. Am Ortseingang von Werleshausen gibt es dann noch eine Brücke.
